I feel I have to clarify something here. My statement was mainly

have sounded a bit too general. I appologize.

I did not want to state, that you should prefer -mi impute chained-
over -ice- or that -ice- is completely useless now that Stata 12 is
shipped.

From http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/stat/mi_ice.html it is clear,
that at least -ice- includes "stepwise model selection" which -mi
impute chained- does not. I have not looked into the code, but Yulia
Marchenko states that -mi chained- and -ice- use the same method,
which makes me believe there should not be a reason to prefer one or
the other. I would like to hear others to comment on this issue,
especially on passive imputation (e.g. interactions). I could imagine
a gain in execution time of -mi impute chained- over -ice- when using
Stata MP.

Thanks for the clarifications. Previous posts on Statalist have argued against using passive imputation. See
